Tie jury Returns Verdict In His
Favor.
The circuit court has for several days
past been engaged in the trial of the case Of
the United States against Gen. Il. d.
Mussey. During the war the general, at
one time, was engaged in recruiting colored
soldiers, and transmitted his accounts to
the department. In settling the same the
government disallowed some 1000 solely
on the ground Of the insunciency of the
vouchers to cover the expenditures. The
general held that the papers amply sus-
tained him, and explained how the money
had been dlsbursed, 1t was finally decided
to test the matter in the court, and suit
was accordingly brought against Gen
Mussey and his bond to recover the $1,000.
The jury late yesterday afternoon termin.
atod the case by finding verdict for the
defendant.
